How to Decrease Proteinuria for Diabetic Nephropathy Patients

I am diabetic nephropathy patient and protein urine 24 hours is 1198.90mg on 17th March, 2015. Please kindly suggest how to decrease protein in urine. Thank you in advance!

Hello, friend. Thanks for your inquiry. I can give you possible treatment for your reference.

As we all know that our kidneys have the important filtering function. For Diabetic Nephropathy patients, their long-term high blood sugar may cause the damage of glomerular filtration membrane, which will cause the kidney damage and the kidneys will fail to work well. Then the protein will leak out from the damaged glomerular filtration membrane. This is why diabetic nephropathy patients will have protein in their urine.

Well then, how to deal with the condition for diabetic kidney disease patients?

1. Keep a low-protein diet

Patients who suffer from massive proteinuira need to reduce or limit intake of protein. However, since protein is an important nutrient to guarantee body health, high-quality protein food should be recommended to patients.

2. Control blood sugar level

For diabetic renal disease patients, a stable blood sugar level is very important.

It is an external application of Chinese medicines which is an innovation of Traditional Chinese Medicine. This therapy has the function of expending blood vessels, anti-inflammation, anti-coagulation, and providing nutrients for the impaired kidneys. Through this therapy, the symptom of protein in urine will obviously remit. In addition, the therapy can also repair the kidney damage, which will improve the kidney function.
